eCOGRA and UK Joining Forces
 August 30, 2007, 5:16 am (4 years ago)The UK has recently began a long term involvement in the online gambling industry. This involvement is being perceived as a welcome step from the UK in securing a better environment overall for the industry itself, as well as online gambling participants.
The main protection for players up to now has been the eCommerce and Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance. Now that the UK government has joined in, it promises to provide more protection for players and industry officials alike. The UK is using the testing approach for online gambling software.
Andrew Beveridge, the CEO for eCOGRA has stated earlier this week that the organization welcomes the UK Gambling Commission. The two will merge in their efforts to require verification of gambling software to ensure that it is of the safest and best standards. ECOGRA has been regulating and supervising the online gambling industry for some time with regular testing of online games, RNG testing, testing of the monthly payout percentage, and by publishing reports regularly. However, the merging of eCOGRA with the UK government will considerably benefit the gaming industry overall.
eCOGRA is a non-profit organization, and has been leading efforts to regulate and secure the online gaming industry. After a long five-year wait, it is pleased to add the UK government to its list of alliances. Only time will tell if other governments will join in the efforts of the two to make the online gaming industry a safe and secure environment for all consumers.
